Last month, I painted a pretty dire picture of what 2019 could look like if buyers continued to sit on the sidelines, waiting out the lowest of the low inventory. And just like that, buyers are back in full force, home sale figures are (generally) up, and inventory levels are up, too. Another added bonus, interest rates are down from the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2018, making the springtime a v…Read More

In what can only be described as a very surprising and unanticipated departure from my sexy, stimulating real estate market updates, I'm going to put on my woo-woo pants and talk a little bit about feelings and personal mindset. Yes, this robot has feelings. Many more have come to the surface as a dad, but yes, I've got feelings. In an industry and world where I am often told no, I have to work my…Read More

It looks as if both home buyers and home sellers decided to really take some time off over the holidays - near record low sales in January were the result of very few purchase contracts written in the Thanksgiving through Christmas time frame. Traditionally, January is the month with the fewest sales and 2019 kept right on trend. Much of the lower sales numbers can also be attributed the fact th…Read More

Another year has come and gone. If you were in the Northern Colorado real estate market, or even if you were just on the sidelines, you knew just how dynamic the market was in 2018. 2018 was another year of records, and a few outlier months that left us scratching our heads. Every year is different and 2019 is shaping up to be another interesting year in real estate. Let’s see how we fin…Read More

Now that we're past October and nearing the home stretch in 2018, Northern Colorado real estate is really a tale of two markets. Furthermore, these markets are not necessarily easy to interpret. The two separate markets are the "affordably priced" and the "not-so-affordably priced" homes. Greeley/Evans is still affordable, whereas Fort Collins and the Loveland/Berthoud markets are still on t…Read More

While the headline "prices reverse course" can seem ominous, we need to put it in the right perspective. First, as indicated below, all median values are up nearly between 9.6% and 12.11% as compared to 2017 values. 10%+ value increases are nothing to sneeze at - it is generally a $40,000+ appreciation in a median home in just one year. Your house has a reasonable full time job! Additional…Read More

As you work your way through the home-buying process, you want to save money wherever you can — after all, there’s a mortgage on the way and surprise bills almost everywhere you look. Instead of skipping the home inspection to avoid writing another check though, it’s vital you have a professional properly inspect the home you’re considering buying.

The chill is finally in the morning air as we head towards fall. Where we're seeing no chill is with the Northern Colorado real estate market where we're seeing August home prices shoot up as sales drop across the region. I know it may seem like a broken record, but the reality of the situation is that with demand remaining strong throughout the year, and inventory remaining low, we're really …Read More

Can you believe it's already back to school time in Northern Colorado? This is the time of year we all take a collective (yet short) pause to catch our breath and gear up for the action between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Speaking of action, Greeley had a HUGE jump in sales in July, which single-handedly put sales in the area into positive territory as compared to 2017. Northern Colorado Home …Read More
